State of Tennessee
Sixth Judicial Circuit Court
This day personally appeared before me, Alfred Harris, one of the circuit judges of the state of Tennessee, the undersigned Timothy Elye, who being sworn upon the Holy Evangelist of Almighty God, deposes & states, that he is at this time, a citizen of the United States of America, and resident in the county of Giles and state of Tennessee. That he did on the 9 th of Feb February 1782, at Salisbury, in the state of North Carolina, enlist as a private soldier in the continental establishment, for the term of twelve months, in a company commanded by a Capt. Jones in the first Regiment of the North Carolina Line of continental troops, commanded by Col. Archibald Cyles. That shortly after his enlistment as aforesaid, he joined the army in South Carolina then stationed on Ashley River, under the command of Genl. M c Greene. That he continued in service against the common enemy for more than nine months; and until the end of the war, he having been discharged by Capt. John Griffith all of which (in whose battle he served some time) in the month of Dec r 1782, when it was understood that the Revolutionary war between the United States & Great Britain (in which this affiant served as aforesaid) was ended.

This affiant further deposes, that he is now, according to the best information he can collect, in the sixty eighth year of his age - That he is very infirm, being afflicted with the Rheumatic Pains, inasmuch that he is not only unable to work for a living support, but to travel about either on foot or horseback, without much difficulty. He is also very poor, having no property but one horse, & a cow, and has been dependent upon the charity of his children for a support. He therefore thinks that he stands much in need of the assistance of his country for a support. He has it not in his power to produce his discharge, having many years ago sold the same to William T. Lewis, who is now dead. That he knows of no persons in this part of the country, by whom the above facts can be proven, except the affidavit below; and he is too old and infirm to travel in search of evidence. He hereby relinquishes all pensions hereby granted or allowed him by the laws of the United States previous to the passage of an act of the Congress thereof, entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the Land and Naval Services of the United States in the Revolutionary War, passed 9th March 1818 & signed by the President on the 21st of the same month. He prays to be placed on the pension list, agreeably to the provisions of said act 19th June 1818.
